Harvey Weinstein tried to force a young actress into a torturous threesome with another woman before later raping her, Manhattan Supreme Court heard on Tuesday. Jessica Mann, 40, a former actress who is now a cosmetologist and hairstylist, tearfully broke down on the witness stand as she recounted the alleged events for the third time in six years.
The testimony came during the disgraced film producer's third sex crimes trial in New York, where he stands accused of third-degree rape over incidents in 2013. The case has drawn renewed attention to the ongoing legal battles stemming from the #MeToo movement accusations against the 74-year-old Weinstein.
